I am delighted to have submitted two bids to the Department for Transport’s ‘Restore Your Railway’ fund.
My first bid seeks to bring more regular services to Bottesford on the Poacher Line having heard residents’ concerns on the doorstep countless times. The second bid I submitted calls for increased services to Nottingham and Leicester, via Syston and Loughborough from Melton Mowbray. This will better connect residents travelling for both business and leisure purposes and reduce some of the frankly bizarre route and changes residents currently have to endure.
My hope is that this will also help reduce pressure on busy and often dangerous local roads.
